However, some testing I have done today is making me think it's a problem elsewhere, possibly something to do with graphics drivers. Here's the testing I have done:

This even occurred with fresh installs of exactly the same version of Ubuntu. Since the same OS version was used in this case, hence presumably the same version of X11/Xorg, could this be a problem with video drivers or something similar?

This appears to be really interesting as Ubuntu should be using a
different driver than MacOSX.  Have you tried Ubuntu 8.1 native to see
if that works?  If that does not work, then this may be an issue to
bring up with Apple and Ubuntu.

Also, did you try XQuartz 2.3.3?  I know that it requires Leopard 10.5.7
to install.
